| | Theobald Wolfe Tone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tone drew up a memorandum for Jackson on the state of Ireland, which he described as ripe for revolution; the memorandum was betrayed to the government by an attorney named Cockayne, to whom Jackson had imprudently disclosed his mission; and in April 1794 Jackson was arrested on a charge of treason. | | | The active participation of the Catholics in the movement of the United Irishmen was strengthened by the appointment of Tone as paid secretary of the Roman Catholic Committee in the spring of 1792. | | | His mother, Matilda (or Mathilda) Tone also emigrated to the United States, and she is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. |

| | Theobald Wolfe Tone - Bodenstown Graveyard - Kildare, Ireland |
| | As Wolfe Tone had never held a Commission in the English Army his trial by court martial was blatantly illegal, and his sentence was a travesty of justice. | | | Tone who had actively participated in the fighting was made prisoner, tried by court martial on November 10th and sentenced to death. | | | From the outset Wolfe Tone had enthusiastically embraced the principles of the French Revolution and had become a free-thinker in matters religious and a republican in politics. |

| | Tone accepted this condition but insisted that he should not be required to give evidence against Jackson, and in fact remained openly in Dublin until after Jackson's trial. | | | In July 1792, Tone became a paid secretary of the Catholic Committee, and in December 1792 he organised a Catholic Convention of elected delegates in the Tailors' Hall, Dublin. | | | The political thinking of Tone and his associates was strongly influenced by the democratic principles of the French revolutionary ideals of 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity', and it was natural that they should turn to France for help. |

| | Famous Irish - Theobald Wolfe Tone |
| | Theobald Wolfe Tone was a teacher and a lawyer and, although he was a member of the Protestant Ascendency, he was also one of Ireland's greatest patriots. | | | Raised as a Protestant, he enjoyed his youth as a privileged member of Irish society, receiving an excellent education, including the study of law at Trinity College. | | | By 1794, however, the society combined an unprecedented national vision with a rejection of monarchy and an appeal for complete independence, factors that led to its being outlawed by the British Crown after betrayal by an informer. |

| | Ireland's OWN: History |
| | Tone's potent words at the time echo down the years to us and have inspired Republicans to this day: 'To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the connection with England, the never-failing source of all our political evils, and to assert the independence of my country - these were my objects. | | | "Tone's egalitarian ideas in an Ireland wracked by distinctions of class and religion and his articulation of Irish nationality were what led to his acknowledgement as one of the greatest political thinkers and the most successful organisers of revolt since Owen Roe O'Neill. | | | This annual commemoration is considered the most important event in the Republican calendar, not least for its continuity of Irish Republican thinking since Tone first espoused his philosophy of Separatism. |

| | The Wild Geese Today -- The Resurrection of Edward Hand |
| | The scene would have pleased Wolfe Tone, Matilda Tone and all United Irish adherents: a Catholic priest in an American court defended by an Irishman (just recently a republican political prisoner) of the Anglican faith -- from whose pioneering legal strategy arose the lawyer-client privilege and the inviolability of the doctor-patient relationship. | | | His father-in-law, William Sampson, in a dramatic case in a New York courtroom (actually the new City Hall) in 1813, defended successfully the principle of the "priest-penitent privilege" that allowed a Jesuit priest to refuse in court to disclose the details of a confession. | | | hen he returned from a brief sojourn near Princeton, New Jersey, to France in 1796, Wolfe Tone left behind Matilda Witherington Tone, a wife (baptised as Martha) as committed to the United Irish ideals of Catholic-Protestant fraternity and equality as was her soon-to-be-martyred husband. |

He refused to act the part of the subaltern. |

| | Read Ireland - Top Tens - 1798 Rebellion/Wolfe Tone |
| | Wolfe Tone was one of the founders of the United Irishmen, a moving spirit behind the 1798 Rising and is generally credited with the title of 'father of Irish republicanism'. | | | As such his political ideas and the circumstances of his life and early death have become powerful political weapons in the hands of later nationalists. | | | The author acknowledges Tone's failures and shortcomings but concludes none the less that 'his gaiety, his self-mockery and his courage must endear him to all who read his story.' |

| | Originally reform-oriented, the United Irishmen were by 1794 planning the overthrow of British rule. | | | In Paris, on July 12th, 1796, Tone met the man who was to prove his strongest ally in this great adventure, Louis Lazare Hoche. | | | A member of the privileged Protestant Ascendancy, Tone was strongly attracted by the radicalism of the American and French revolutionaries, maintaining close links with the United Irish Society, which he had helped found in Belfast in October 1791. |

| | This, then, is the first part of Wolfe Tone's achievement---he made articulate the dumb voices of the centuries, he gave Ireland a clear and precise and worthy concept of Nationality. | | | But he did more than this: not only did he define Irish Nationalism, but he armed his generation in defence of it. | | | And though many before him and some since have died in testimony of the truth of Ireland's claim to nationhood, Wolfe Tone was the greatest of all that have made that testimony, the greatest of all that have died for Ireland whether in old time or in new. |
